Yesterday marked the end of May, and thus I now have May's stats.
Submissions: 3
Rejections: 4
Acceptances: 1
Words Written: 3273
My word count for May was very, very bad. Ugh. I need to find a way to fix it this month.
As for June, I do have some goals. I have a few short stories I would like to write. I need to get back to rewriting Virtuoso and continue with edits. Plus I am going to start keeping track of how many pages I edit a month. It'll give me an idea on what I'm doing on that front.
As for Virtuoso, chapters 1-5 are back from my critique partners. Everyone is loving the story, thinks the pace is good, and has remarked on its professional quality. There are things I need to change/tweak here and there, but so far, so good. I hope to edit chapters 6-10 within the next couple weeks and get them to my CPs and rewrite chapters 11-15. I think the five chapters at a time thing is working pretty well. My goal is to query agents by October, but that means I need to have the rewrite, critiques back, and edits finished by September, so I can do a last proofread/polish.
In other words, I need to get back to writing, rewriting, and editing. *laughs*
So, what news do you have?

Congratulations on your acceptance! ^_^ I wanted to write more short stories for May, too, but this sci-fi one is slowing me down. I want to do it, though. Then I think I'll write one more before starting to edit my Sphinx novel. I'd love to have that ready to send in maybe by the end of the summer.
Congrats on that wonderful acceptance. I'll buy the anthology to support Japan and you, of course!
I am always interested in seeing writer specs. Congrats on your acceptance!
Congrats on your Acceptance! Woohoo (raising the roof). My May word count stinks. I Need to giddy-up in June too. Wonder what our Facebook, twitter, and blog word counts are? =)
Hooray on your story acceptance!
Congrats for your acceptance and keep up the great work. I commend anyone who sets goals. I am so bad at it!
Congratulations! I've got good news recently - I'll be heading off to Kansas to participate in a two-week writing workshop at the Center for the Study of Science Fiction! Yay!
By the way, the poll is still open for what book I should read and share my thoughts about next on the Kelworth Files, and I really need book lovers, (particularly science fiction and fantasy) to give me their opinion. So, come by http://kelworthfiles.wordpress.com/2011/05/29/a-wizard-of-mars-chapter-fifteen/ and check out the poll options!
